Title: a thing to think about when drilling a link
Post by: rymacatthedisco on November 12, 2008, 08:37:36 AM: just wanted to let everyone know that our team has drilled some links with a 0 to 1 inch pin to pap range and keeping the mb on the left side of the thumb for righties, and let me tell you, this has been the money drilling for college patterns when the pattern is blown open and everything is just hooking way to much...

just wanted to let everyone know

Post by: slashrr69 on November 12, 2008, 07:08:28 PM: yeah, I thought the same thing.. I have one and we drill it pretty weak(morich drilling)5.5"x60x45 with the pin up.. it suppose to be clean fronts with a mello arcing backend.... NOT, really strong, could be me and my hand, but when I change my hand position to a weaker release it goes totally straight and thats not good either... so the sooner the better on the pictures would be great..lol.. actual layouts for each piucture would help too.. ytring a surface change on it thi thursday night , going to sub and practice at the same time...lol.... thankss slashrr69

Post by: jbruno6 on November 12, 2008, 07:13:09 PM: This is mine, and I think Ryan is correct. The ball is too aggressive on the backend. I was looking for something tame, and what I created was a good medium oil ball. I'm have a new Razyr coming this week, which I think will fit in better than the Link.

Post by: A_P_K on November 12, 2008, 07:20:03 PM: My Link is laid out with the pin over the ring stacked over the CG and I must say this is a much better light oil condition piece for me than the Neptune is.

My Link is smooth and even down the lane with a predictable move to the pocket. I can easily vary the reaction shape to improve backend pop with release variations too.

For me the Neptune was too skid snappy and over under. I can at least control the Link. I was afraid it would be too strong but it is not.

Post by: rymacatthedisco on November 13, 2008, 09:36:24 AM: jbruno, we have a couple of kids with that drilling and i just dont like it, it is a great piece for medium light, but when we really need to stay near the gutter on shorter patterns and they are pretty fried the link wit a close pin to pap drilling is just perfect. the cover is so weak and making it roll the entire lane with nothing fancy on the back is perfect...

You have to watch doing this, because of what could happen to your flare pattern due to strong MB balls.

Post by: Scraps Z on November 14, 2008, 08:04:25 AM: What could happen...isnt the Link a weaker MB ball? I am seriously considering this setup, while I dont have a ton of hand...my Hornet with pin over bridge and CG kicked 2.5" out has some pretty nasty back end on the dry, blown open pattern.

Not a lot could happen with a Link. Yet with something stronger to start, you could have problems with the way the ball flares. The link isnt bad to drill like this so dont worry.
